We have attempted to contact the customer on Aug 14th at 1:42p without success. We were able to leave a message regarding the situation and contact information to reach us back. We are continuing to hire / train drivers which takes several weeks to ensure safety of the customers, drivers, and others. We are providing weekly residential service so therefore no credits will be provided. We have also communicated to the driver's supervisor on can placement to avoid the driveway from being blocked for easy access. We appreciate your understanding during this time and will continue to grow to service you at the level that Kimble provides. Thank you for being a valued Kimble customer.Initial Complaint

We are a non-profit agency in the Canton community and our dumpster was set on fire which destroyed the lids, so the security bars cannot seal the can. We have been experiencing illegal dumping making it impossible for us to put our trash in the bin, so basically we are paying for others trash to be picked up. We are willing to pay for a new bin w/bars and requested this about 6 weeks ago. We were given days of delivery on multiple occasions and then it always gets moved. We recently spoke with Kristie this week instead of Scott and she stated that they are out of bins momentarily. I asked if there could be an extra pick up until the bins are in so that we can also dump our trash and she is requiring for us to pay for it. I feel that there should be some type of compromise. Of course, it was not their fault or ours that our bin got caught on fire, but we are requesting to pay for another to ensure that we don't cause health safety issues for those at our agency and to the surrounding animals. Once full people dig through it and leave all of the trash on the ground, and we have to go out and pick it up multiple times during the week. We are just asking for a compromise temporarily since they are unable to provide us with the bin that we initially paid for when we initiated service and are now in need of another. I am providing 3 options to be considered re: this complaint. 1. replacement of bin, 2. billing adjustment, 3. extra pick up. Thank youBusiness Response

We cancelled our trash services contract June 1, 2023 due to their continuously delayed trash pick up issues. They started being late during the pandemic and this was understandable at the time. This continued on until we cancelled.
Our main area of concern is we have been given many different dates for them to remove their trash can from our property. We waited the full 4-6 weeks they requested for
removal and they never showed up. We are now approaching week 8 and they continue to give us false pick up dates.
I want their property removed from my property. They damaged our our own trash can as well. They leave the entire neighborhood with trash not picked up for days and the trash blows all through the neighborhood. They are leaving us in unsanitary conditions and I have to pick trash out of my yard daily.
We have talked to supervisor after supervisor and each time they give us a new date for trash can removal, and the day passes with no service.Business Response

Kimble company has been our trash service provider for almost 8 years. Over the last 5 weeks, they have either partially picked up our trash or did not pick up at all. We are going on 3 weeks of no trash pickup with promises to pick up daily. We have called 12 times in the last 8 days to confirm trash will be picked up daily and it has not been. During these calls I have confirmed our service is paid for, they confirmed that they are not providing the service we have paid for, and we confirmed our home location and location of the bins. The trash build up we have because of them not providing the service is becoming a health risk to our household as well as our neighbors. All we want is for them to complete the service paid for through the month of July until our new trash provider starts as we have switched to another company due to Kimble's negligence.Business Response

We have notified the operations manager and they will be working with the driver to make the service experience better. We will have the driver give more of an explanation as to what the issue is on the notes left. I have also advised the City of Orrville of the complaint so they are aware as well and can let us know if they hear anything. Thank you for reaching out to us!

On 5/11/2023 Kimble employees picked up my trash, broke two of my cans and left piles of trash scattered through my yard and on the road.
I contacted Kimble right away, had to spend over $100 on new trash cans and I reached out to customer support with no real contact back. I had front line reps escalate the situation to their supervisor and the supervisor and leadership will not contact me back about the issue.Business Response

I have two accounts for trash service. I always pay for an entire year at a time.Doing so this locks the price for the year. This is what i did two years ago and have always done with the previous company that Kimble bought out ******* waste. Kimbles employee admitted it was entered wrong in the computer,so by the time i tried to get this situation squared away, Kimble refuses to correct this and has billed me more than should have been. The customer # ****** ******* ********** amount $ 113.93 and customer # ****** ******* ********** amount $ 103.35 Both are for January 2022 thru January 2023 I have since given my business to another company.Business Response

We have previously spoken with this customer on multiple occasions and explained the billing and found the balance due to be correct on both accounts. We have provided all invoices and payments received and have not received any further information from Mr. ******* showing payments received by Kimble not applied. Customer was serviced thru December 14, 2022 and that is when the account went on a hold status. Customer cancelled and remaining balances were still due.

We have been using a Kimble dumpster at our temporary ********* church location for the last two years. We bought a church 30 miles away in ********** and Kimble will not allow us to cancel their service claiming we owe them for three years. They did not explain this originally, and I didn't realize I needed to have my lawyer go over the contract for our protection. They do not pick up in ********** and the price increase is significant which I explained that being a small church we have limited funds. I have been told by different people at Kimble that they usually do not hold a person to this three year thing. They have on every contract that I signed all I needed to do was give them a week's notice which I did on March 21st, asking them to pick up the dumpster by the end of March at the ********* building. Currently, the dumpster still sits and Kimble is trying to bill me it. They are also, trying to lock me into another 3 year contract for a trash can at **********. I have Kimble at my house as well and have put up with them not picking my trash up on time for the last 2 years and been understanding in every way. If they want me to ever be their customer again they need to pick up the dumpster and cancel my service at the ********* church and quit being so rediculous. This is such a waste of my time.
Thank you
